Okay, long story short after 4 years of LONG LONG WAITING I can finally abandon this 7 year old bought on clearance horrid all in one HP garbage machine. I finally have the money saved to get a good computer within 1k or a LITTLE bit higher than that. I have a few options, and I've been getting opinions from literally everywhere I can find as this decision could easily change the course of my life.
After looking at so so so many computers I've narrowed it down to 3 possibilities, I'm asking for people who really know what they're talking about to please help me figure out what's right for me. Budget is 1k, my workload isn't anything super big or massive high poly, I mostly want things to work in the viewport/animating side of things, modeling, texturing. You can use a renderfarm for rendering if your computer isn't good enough, but you can't rent out the use of a viewport so the viewport being usable and faster is more important to me.
This is the best prebuilt I could manage to find, this company doesn't have a very good track record, and if you have any experience with them please do tell! Most of the tech has pretty good benchmarks but from what I've heard their PSU's and cooling systems are really bad
. However, it's got the one year warranty, I legitimately do not care for the lights it could just be a black box and I wouldn't mind. This is the most convenient one for me to get, unfortunately getting custom build is very difficult for me don't ask why so this is mostly asking if THIS V computer is good for Blender. I'm mostly worried about the PSU and cooling system, do they look good enough?
This is what I've just "made" on the CGDirector site, this also looks really nice, honestly at this point after working on this computer anything looks nice. But I need to know if it's worth it/good
